Description
Dr. Clinton Francis is a sensory ecologist who studies how noise pollution affects birds, like this Black-headed Grosbeak. He says sounds from machines and vehicles can really disrupt bird behavior.

Fortunately, there are many ways to help birds by reducing noise pollution.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
